COPT.NRW is a network of over 30 partners who are active in TOLAE (Thin, Organic and Large Area Electronics), also known as Plastic or Printed Electronics.
The cluster incorporates partners from all parts of the value chain in the field of TOLAE and therefore it is a valuable and attractive partner for future activities in the EU. The international cooperation is strongly supported by industrial partners who already are operating worldwide.

We look for
Cooperations with actors from industry and science in TOLAE.

Sectors
Technologies and methods for increased operating life of production systems, Business models and industrial strategies for innovative products, Digital approaches for manufacturing processes and product lifecycles, Factories of the future

Providing 60 years of industry and research experience we are working on value adding services. Our focus is on the service innovation, lean services and community management. Further we provide expertise in Maintenance Management, IT-System selection, Information Technology Management, Supply Chain Design, Order Management and Logistics Management.
Within the service innovation we identify the customers needs and help the service provider to prethink customized solutions. Often it is not clear what the value add is by digitalising a service. But in the first step it is important to understand where innovative ideas are created and how they could be structured. Therefore the customers needs should be evaluated. With the right tools and methods then sustainable business models can be developed on this foundation.
To make services more efficient we transfer our lean manufacturing expertise into the service sector.
Within the community management we have closer look on the life cycle and success factors of communities.

We look for
Especially technology partners for FoF and other EU proposals.

Additional specification of expected cooperation
The principles of professionalisation and industrialisation form the basis of the Lean Services research unit. At the centre of the unit’s work is the development of integrated management approaches as a service production system (SPS) focussing on the value contribution of industrial services. Based on the principles of lean management, the unit establishes new methods and tools to sustainably increase efficiency in service companies.
The research unit Community Management deals with the increasing relevance of networks between companies, which are motivated by the pooling of know-how and the need for access to limited resources. The research unit’s aim is to develop methods and tools that enable companies to benefit from network effects in partner networks with superordinate and joint target systems.
